Signs of Type 1 diabetes

Childhood obesity

Overweight children have an increased chance of becoming overweight adults. Increased weight in adulthood can lead to long-term conditions such as Type 2 diabetes. Simple tips can help your child regain a healthy weight. Checking what their BMI is can help too. https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-weight/childrens-weight/advice-for-parents-overweight-childre

Children can experience stress in similar ways to adults, but they may express their stress in different ways as their ability to describe their feelings may not match the depth of their emotions.
